Top Tips for Renting a Van in Durham
- Travelers flying into Durham will arrive at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). Rental car facilities are onsite at the airport, where you can rent Durham van rentals. Popular agencies represented at RDU include Hertz, National, Dollar, and Budget. Each rental agency provides free courtesy shuttle transport to the onsite car rental facility where the counters are located. The pick-up location for the shuttles is outside the baggage claim at Zones 4 and 5 of Terminals 1 and 2, respectively.
- Durham van rentals are an affordable and practical solution for short-term and long-term transport needs. Instead of caravanning down the highway in multiple individual cars, rent Durham van rentals and save your group money. Vans have more room for everyone and avoid the risk of conflicts between individuals. Moreover, traveling together in one van provides a meaningful way of spending time together and bonding. You can opt to play games or enjoy music together during a ride to famous North Carolina attractions like Umstead State Park.
- Watch out for toll roads while driving in Durham and the entire Research Triangle area. The main toll road is south of Durham; Interstate 40 connects to the NC 55 Bypass of the NC Triangle Expressway. The entire road lacks toll booths, so you will pay for tolls electronically. The NC Quick Pass transponder is the best form of toll payment.
- One of the best parts about Durham is that congestion during the commute periods isn’t as bad as in other Research Triangle cities like Raleigh. The morning rush starts from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The evening rush starts from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Some roads prone to traffic congestion are the I-40 eastbound, a common hotspot during the morning rush. A section of the US 15-501 from the old South Square to Chapel Hill and the Roxboro Road tend to clog up, and so does the US 70 leading to Brier Creek. We advise drivers of Durham van rentals to avoid starting their trips during the rush times if they will be using these routes.

Cons:
They didn't have cars available. I was on a wait list but was never contacted either way after that.2.0 Poor
Jul 2020
Pros:
Nothing - I showed up to pick up the truck and none was available. Enterprise did not attempt to contact me to let me know there were no vehicles available and did nothing to remedy the situation. I had to cancel me plans and reschedule for the following weekend with Alamo. I will never rent from Enterprise again from your site or any other site.Cons:
Live up to their obligations and communicate and not leave their customers hanging.2.8 Poor
Jul 2020
Cons:
The car was filthy and smelled of smoke even though it was a nine smoking car. The seats were super uncomfortable and there was a terrible squeak. The car needed to be retired as a rental.10.0 Wonderful
Mar 2017
Pros:
Convenient , reliable and most of all comfortable. Easy to pay, friendly calls the day of and before to make sure I was still interested in using them. They wanted to make sure what I needed and to have it available for me. The cost was so much more my size than any of the other place I had tried. The price was cheap and much more for someone's pocket that is on a fixed income.Cons:
That the person checking up to see if I needed the vehicle did not tell me about having to bring 2 forms to prove of my ability to pay, and live. This was an inconvenience for me, but the person at the desk helped me and my husband out.2.0 Poor

Pros:
The size and type of car was good, the price was good.Cons:
